How Many Alexes Does It Take To Screw A Blue Jacket?

Two.  Two Alexes.  That is how many Alexes it takes to screw a Blue Jacket.  That could be the number of Alexes it takes to screw the rest of the NHL too.  COULD...

Led by the streaking Alexes, the Caps defeated the Blue Jackets after a 4 goal 3rd period on New Year's eve giving the Caps their 3rd straight win.  Vokoun who has also been pretty good lately, saved 35 out of 37 shots from the Jacks (94%).

Ovi has 3 straight 2 point showings, and has scored 2 goals in each of the last 2 games.  His Russian partner Semin has been hot too, with 5 points during the 3 game winning streak.  Tommy V has saved 91 out of 95 for almost a 96% save percentage during the streak.

By the time the game had begun I was already on stop 4 of my New Years eve brewery/winery tour.  I had 10 different wines and like 37 different kinds of beers.  Not a good idea.  I mean a great idea at the time.  But in the morning after all those guys had time to mingle in my stomach, they decided they didn't like each other.  The stouts were fighting with the pilsners.  The hefeweizens were in a battle with the porters.  It was like WWIII in there.  Wait that has nothing to do with hockey...

So in the morning after the game I decided I would go online for a second.  I wouldn't go anywhere that might possibly bring up the score of the game.  Fail.  On some side banner on CSN's TV listings page was the final score!  DAMN!

After talking to some Caps fans I decided that I would only watch the 3rd period.  Wow...what a game for the Caps.  Wish I could have seen it without the spoiler...

Caps vs Jackets

Some good and bad things...

Caps:  They are nice if you are bald.  They are nice if you are a baseball player.  They give me a headache when I wear them.  I hate when people wear them backwards.  I hate when people wear them at all.  I like winter hats.

Jackets:  Jackets win by a landslide.  I'm always so cold.  It is always freezing.  Jackets keep me warm.  Jackets let me play in the snow.  You can always take off a jacket, but you can't put one on if you don't have one!

I saw a story about the Caps players wearing blue jackets and realized that the Caps were actually playing a team called the Blue Jackets.  They are from Ohio.  Yeah hockey in Ohio. WTF.


Anyways since nobody let me know that this game was happening, there is no awesome game preview with random rap song lyrics that nobody understands.  Instead, a pregame poem.

The Caps play the Jackets,
In a battle of apparel.
Scoring on Columbus,
Like shooting fish in a barrel.

Ovi Ovi Oh,
Say can you see.
A hat trick for the fans,
A hat trick for me.

It is New Years eve,
So I won't watch this game.
I have to drink heavily,
And live up to my name.

So Go Caps Go
Last game in Eleven
If you could just win this,
It would be just heaven...
